Insect Direct

Yea good point, im yet to finalise the sizes so will try do so tomorrow

sweet glass sounds like the go, just need to know what thickness would be safe then i geuss go/ring round the glass shops getting quotes :lol:

is glass the only option for a diy beardie setup made of wood but want a clear front, ie glass doors in tracks or somthing similiar etc etc anyone used plexi glass? or even know if its available here? also if glass is the best option how thick, does it have to be safety glass etc? cheers for ya time

id make sure temps around 26-28 and maybe add some tonic salt or similiar to aid healing of the wounds, may just have to keep them seperate as males can be agro unfortunately but the wounds should come right theyre hardy

hows it looking now ??

cant have seen tv like deal or no deal hahahaahahaha

lol yea im surprised the frogs havent loss a limb or 2 yet

Dunno if your still thinking about it but wouldnt recomend newts and frogs, frog may/will eat the newts and the newts been toxic um yea not good, axies with frogs i wouldnt recomend either do u still keep them 2getha and any trouble yet?

there u are :bounce:

i chuck cuttlefish in the with the turtles hadnt thought into grinding it up, thinking about it the powders on the market are relatively cheap and a lil goes a reasonably long way so i may just stick to whats safest and save trying to reinvent the wheel!

when i was into plants all i used was sand in the end and with great results, daltons propagating sand which you find at bunnings mitre 10 or all farms cheap to, bout 6-8bux per large bag, I just add straight sand to tank before the water and have water slowly fill the tank then do a couple of large waterchanges turn filter on and water will clear up pretty quick :lol: like alan i never really stirred it up as imo no real need to if well planted as the roots along with the bacteria in the sand (after time) and preferably a filter should all work in well together and balance everything, if you get a build up on the surface you could gravel vac just the top, hope that makes sence lol

nice looking frogs

awesome ill do abit more reading thanks for your input

was thinking more for beardies but hmm interesting, also flicking through my bearded dragon manual last night and see calcium carbonate recomended, any ideas on this?

Seen some 4sale, geussing its a powder would it be ok for dusting livefood etc??? cheers matt

sweet, if i could see it that would make things easier but yea ive caught a few whistling tree frog tadpoles up in the hills here so most likely them. heres hoping it finds a lady and leaves me some tadpoles lol

imo go for bright goldfish in a pond, they grow fast breed even faster and can be seen (why have fish you bearly see), minnows are great but like whitebait in a pond, not good for much other than livefood imo. otherwise sounds great be nice to see some pics if you get a chance :lol:

as said twice above get the mesh from mitre 10 or bunnings, its about 10 bux per meter by 900mm wide, great stuff same as used in security/screen doors, build a wooden frame that fits the top of your tank staple mesh to that and your sorted!

Today i noticed it singing away and just outside b4 and herd it again, i think its behind my baths that used to have fish in, it sounds like this . . .wait 4 it . . . , ribet ribet ribet lmao recognize it? :lol: assuming it looks like this :bounce: anyway whats the storey with it croaking i thought they would be going into hibernation outdoors?

Hey Man Yea im starting to wunder if i should just use batts with hardboard or thinish ply maybe. . . Thanks for the offer ill keep that in mind as still trying to source poly, been quoted $10per sq meter which soon adds up from 1 place and that was 60 mm and they rekond R1.8 insulation value but dont think was fire proof so hmm cant wait to do it though another cold front on the way apparintly lol :lol:

p.s if anyone wants to sell me some roaches (american/gisbornes) please pm, cheers

well i had em beeding thought id better do a top up on the silcon spray and wiped all my roaches out hahaha bugger i thoought these things are suppose to be indestructable, hmmmm been reading up on overseas ways of doing things and often spoken off is a teflon paint they use to make a barrier to keep roach's and the likes in and lasts years not months like silicon/vaseline :lol: only trouble is i dont cant find any in nz so wundering if anyone else has or knows of a similiar product??? cheers Matt

wouldnt one also have to consider the power input if importing from overseas?

Dogs :lol: and the BIG cats :bounce:

some glues melt polystyrene aswell so gotta watch that, i was thinking screws so all like kitset which isnt really permanent
